These programs are only available through Passport Advantage®. The Gold Program offerings are
intended for Informix customers who want the flexibility to install either Informix or DB2 products
in whatever combination that is required to meet their business needs.

These offerings allow you to purchase licenses to cover the entire business need, even if the exact
mix of Informix and IBM database licenses is either not known or will change over time.

You now have more flexible licensing terms for the Gold Program offerings. In cases where you may
wish to transition from use of a licensed copy of the Informix Extended Parallel Server/Informix
Dynamic Server/IBM Red Brick Warehouse Server product to use of the licensed set of corresponding
DB2 products, you may now install and operate both sets of products to facilitate such a transition
for a single period of 180 days.

announcement is
per processor
which is defined as follows:

Processor
 means a processor that forms part of the server on which the program is installed or executed.
You must acquire a use authorization for each such processor.

In addition, the programs in this announcement are part of the recently announced IBM On/Off
Capacity on Demand pricing which allows eligible customers to pay a fee to enable and use temporary
server capacity. Refer to Software Announcement
203-202
, dated August 12, 2003, for details.

IBM Data Management Gold programs

The charge unit is per processor under the dual license for either Informix products or DB2
products. Note that each CPU available to the installed software must have a separate entitlement
that can be either DB2 or Informix.

If you purchase a single license (right to copy), you are authorized to install either an Informix
product or DB2 product, but not both. If you purchase multiple licenses, you may install all
Informix products, all DB2 products, or a combination of both up to a maximum of the number of
licenses acquired. For example, if you purchase ten licenses, you may install ten copies of
Informix or ten copies of DB2, or five copies each of Informix and DB2. You can also order, if
needed, either the DB2 media package (DB2, ...) and documentation and/or the Informix media package.
The appropriate media package will be shipped directly to you with the operating system of your
choice.
